Video Game Review: Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy

Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy video game is one of the best video games that I have played in a very long time. They have great graphics, excellent storyline, and awesome game play. In the past, I have played many video games for various game consoles, whether it is Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox, among others, and there have been numerous games made and based off of movies, and in general these games have not been so great. But, this is not the case with the Bourne Conspiracy. You can tell that High Moon Studios has taken the time need to develop a high-quality game. This is a very nice action-packed game that fits right in with the other Bourne movies and books.

Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy was released on June 3, 2008. It is available for the Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. The developer was High Moon Studios in collaboration with Ludlum Entertainment, and the publisher was Sierra Entertainment. This is a great action game for teens, and older adults. This action video game has a new and interesting storyline. You play as Jason Bourne, and play as both a trained assassin and a government agent, while you try to discover and uncover the conspiracy about his own origins. While you try to uncover this conspiracy, there are many people you must talk to, as well as fight. The game is filled with hand-to-hand combat and gunplay. Throughout the game you come across a whole arsenal of weapons. There are various take-down and combat moves that Bourne has available.

Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy is a fast-paced game, and is full of non-stop action. The Bourne Conspiracy is a third-person action game, there is also an adrenaline meter available to the player, and this meter increases as you come to blows with various enemies. As you fight, you are able to punch, kick, and block. This hand-to-hand combat is very easy to use, unlike many other third-person action games where the combat and fighting is very frustrating and hard to use. Once, the adrenaline meter is full, Bourne is able to take out more and more enemies at a time by using special attacks. The amount of enemies you are able to take out in one attack will also increase, as your adrenaline meter increases.

The graphics associated with this game are great; they are very clear. Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy has excellent camera-work. It is very easy to follow, not too busy or fuzzy. There is also fantastic lighting in this game; building, people, and items are easy to see, as opposed to similar third-person action games, where items are dark and hard to see. Other third-person action games include: Max Payne, Gears of War, Ghost Recon, Stranglehold, and Rainbow Six, among others. The games I have just mentioned are fairly new and very popular, but they do contain several flaws that Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy does not have, because the developers have recognized and corrected those flaws.

The only problem with this game is that it is too short. It does not take very long to beat this game, but this positives associated with the game greatly outweighs this negative. I strongly recommend that everyone should rent and/or buy Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy; it does not matter if you like or dislike the Bourne movies and/or novels, in my opinion, it is very easy to fall in love with this game, due to the great graphics, excellent storyline, and simple, yet intense gameplay.
